Proact Nordic Becomes VMware PSO Partner

With the appointment as a VMware’s Professional Services Organization (PSO) partner, Proact IT Sweden AB has reinforced its position as one of the strongest VMware, Inc. partners in the region.

Proact, which has delivered backup, storage, networking and security services and solutions to businesses since 1994, has over many years built its expertise in virtualization and cloud technologies. Its partnership with the virtualization vendor VMware has developed over time and the opportunity to join VMware’s PSO as a partner is an acknowledgement of Proact having reached the highest level of certification and professional skills for key VMware platforms and technologies. The PSO partnership means that Proact is authorized to take on demanding consulting assignments for VMware’s largest customers.

“We are happy to welcome Proact as a PSO partner and look forward to working even more closely with them. Proact is now enabled to provide consulting services to our Professional Services Organization and to engage in the increasingly complex data centre and transformation projects that VMware executes for our enterprise customers,” says Lars Bo Klausen, country manager, VMware.

He adds: “As a strategic VMware partner, and through their agreement with our Professional Services Organization, Proact will support VMware’s enterprise strategy for the Software Defined Data Center, which entails virtualization of all IT infrastructure components.“

Endorsement of competence and quality
“The PSO partnership with VMware gives a seal of approval for Proact’s expertise and certifications, raising the quality of our services. We have experience from complex assignments and are committed to setting the standard for strategic services and advice, and to continuously develop our capabilities to deliver best-of-breed solutions, such as virtualization using VMware technology,” says Lena Eskilsson, MD, Proact.

As PSO partner, Proact will help customers execute their chosen business strategy.

“Today, more and more professional organisations choose virtualization and the cloud as a delivery model for data centre services, and we can help them realize the full the potential of the software suite they have selected. This way, we enable customers to get strategic benefits from investments that were often made for tactical purposes. To deploy the new services quickly, while allowing the IT department to stay in full control of the entire infrastructure, it is essential for customers to standardize and automate a number of processes,” adds Lena Eskilsson.
